Secret Santa or secret shatain another non story

New khilaaf or business as usual .

The republic of Somaliland will Never turn the same way as South Sudan or Somaliya. Somaliland is a free democratic country compared to those people .

A sensitive issue wth replacing the police chief but I totally agree with the Government in mixed the Somalilanders so we can have a Lascanod guy to be governor of The capital Hargeysa and have a guy from another region to be in Burco this way Somalilanders learn that no job is secured and this small nation can take another step forward .

the people who came up with clan federalism in koonfurta will surely reap there rewards in daad dhimetey illah kama baaqdaan. The worst solution to the problems there.

wwooow hees macaaan sidaas ka ku waad qalanjo kkkkkkkk

"Mikhail Kalashnikov: "I created a weapon to defend the fatherland's borders" RIP to one of the greatest inventor in the history of mankind . Mikhail Kalashnikov, designer of AK-47, 1919-2013 By John Kampfner Mikhail Kalashnikov, the father of the world's most popular assault rifle, is handed an AK-74©Getty Mikhail Kalashnikov, who has died at the age of 94, invented the most ubiquitous weapon in modern warfare. At least 75m of the AK-47 assault rifles that bear his name have spread around the world since the second world war. Yet the Soviet state, though awarding him the Stalin Prize when he was 30, paid no royalties and he long lived on a modest pension in the once closed town of Izhevsk, near the Ural Mountains that straddle Europe and Asia. As the country opened up in the 1980s, his first trips to the west led him to resent the luxury and stardom often proffered to lesser counterparts elsewhere. It was only later that the Russian leadership, veering once again towards authoritarianism after a brief flirtation with liberal democracy, began publicly to laud one of its most impressive engineers. More At Kalashnikov’s 75th birthday celebration in 1994, President Boris Yeltsin conferred on him the Order of St Vladimir, Russia’s highest award. In 2009, on reaching 90, he was named a “Hero of the Russian Federation” by President Dmitry Medvedev. Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov was born on November 10 1919 into humble surroundings in western Siberia. After basic secondary schooling he became a technician on the Turkestan-Siberian railway. When war came he was drafted as a tank mechanic to the front near Bryansk in the west of Russia. Within months he was injured and it was in hospital that he became obsessed by his dream. “I decided to build a gun of my own which could stand up to the Germans. It was a bit of a crazy escapade, I suppose. I didn’t have any specialist education and I couldn’t even draw,” he said. His first designs attracted little attention, but on release from hospital he went back to his engine workshop in Siberia to try to make a prototype. It was not long before he was on his way to Alma Ata, the capital of Kazakhstan, with his first model in his hand. On arrival he was arrested for carrying unauthorised firearms, but the police released him when he told them of his dream project. Kalashnikov went straight to the Communist party for advice and was sent to several provincial institutes. After a determined battle with the bureaucrats, he finally made it to Moscow. But the diminutive sergeant was scorned by the top brass, including generals such as Vasily Degtyaryov, the Soviet Union’s most prominent weapons designer of the time. Kalashnikov was so shy that he signed his sketches “MikhTim”, the first syllables of his first names. But he persevered, and was transferred to Izhevsk to supervise production. So secretive were the tests of the rifle that photographs were forbidden and cartridge cases had to be picked up after firing. By the mid-50s the AK-47 – literally, the Automatic Kalashnikov made in 1947 – was standard issue to the Soviet armed forces. In the 1960s he emerged from the obscurity of Izhevsk when he was made a member of the Supreme Soviet, Moscow’s rubber-stamp parliament. Even in the early 1980s, he was ordered not to reply to a letter from an American academic for fear of inadvertently disclosing information. In 1990, on his first visit to the old cold war enemy, he was introduced in Washington to Eugene Stoner, designer of the M-16, the closest thing to an American equivalent of the AK-47, which was first issued to US troops in 1961. Kalashnikov’s clothes were shabby. The few dollars in his pocket had been given by his factory and by the American institute sponsoring the trip. He later recalled: “Stoner has his own aircraft I can’t even afford my own plane ticket.” Kalashnikov’s personal life was fraught with tragedy. He met his wife Yekaterina at an army testing range near Moscow. She was a graphic artist and helped him put his designs on paper. They married in 1943 and had four children. Yekaterina died in 1977 and his youngest daughter Natalia moved in to keep him company, only to die in a car crash six years later. His hearing failing him, he later lived alone, though with a driver and a country dacha by the lake as perks. Yelena, another daughter, helped both at home and on his trips abroad, usually as part of a Russian delegation to an arms fair, by smoothing the path with her passable English. An avid shot, he also worked on designs for hunting rifles. With his son Viktor and a group of friends he would go hunting for elk in the snow. His reflections were tinged with sadness that his rifle had become the tool of choice for terrorist groups from the former Soviet republics to Africa and Northern Ireland. “I wanted my invention to serve peace,” he once said. “I didn’t want it to make war easier . . . If the politicians had worked as hard as we did, the guns would never have got into the wrong hands. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25497013 http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7a8fc4e2-6bee-11e3-85b1-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2oPjQCDYW

. One possible candidate, Somaliland, has kept both piracy and Islamic extremism at bay, yet on most reckonings it is a country at all, rather a renegade province of Somalia—which has struggled to contain either. As well as countries yet to be, we might celebrate one that could soon disintegrate: the United Kingdom, which hasn’t fared too badly, all things considered, since coming into being in 1707, but could fracture in 2014 should the Scots be foolhardy enough to vote for secession Reading this makes me proud a somalilander well done to the republic of Somaliland small country doing well and:cool: .

On December 2, the UN Secretary General (UNSG) submitted a second three-month report on Somalia to the UN Security Council (UNSC) since the establishment of the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) on June 3rd in accordance with resolution 2102 (2013). On December 10, the Special Representative of the UNSG, head of UNSOM, Ambassador Nicholas Kay briefed the Council on the report. The assessment and performance information contained in the report is far from indicating progress in peacebuilding and statebuilding objectives. Oddly enough, there hasn’t been so far any noticeable alarm, concern, and discussion among the Somali leaders about the negative message the report delivers. For example, the report reminds the international community that the president and the federal government did not honor their commitment to ensure “due process” in handling the cases of alleged rape and sexual violence. Although the stories in the report point to different conclusions, the federal government is praised for “the promotion of national reconciliation and outreach initiatives countrywide.” UNSOM is now at the driver’s seat of Somalia and is aggressively forcing the formation of federal member states against the roadmap provided in the Provisional Constitution. This move steers Somalia into political abyss. Jubba Interim Administration The report makes clear that the Addis Ababa agreement and Mogadishu Reconciliation Conference, supervised by the foreign minister of Ethiopia are deals between the Federal Government and Ahmed Madobe. With no consequence, the report notes that Digil and Mirifle clan leaders have unequivocally rejected the Addis Ababa Agreement as “unconstitutional” and called for a conference to establish a federal member state of six regions. However, the voices of opposition against the Addis Ababa Agreement remain drowned by a new slogan of Ambassador Nicholas Kay, which says, “The UN will continue to back the voices of hope, not despair, of opportunity, not crisis.” Actually, the adamant UN support for the implementation of Addis Ababa agreement, which lacks legal and political legitimacy, generates crisis and despair. Ambassador Nicholas Kay touts Jubba Interim Administration as a model for the formation of other federal member states on an accelerated track. He and a UN Integrated Constitutional Support Team are giving briefings on federalism, fiscal federation and wealth sharing to the leaders and officials of the federal government to support state formation. What it is more astonishing is that the political, diplomatic, logistic, and financial support withheld from the federal Government for lack of accountability, transparency, and of political inclusiveness has been eagerly offered directly to Jubba Interim Administration. Political, security, and economic situations Besides Al Shabab terror, the report describes political tensions and volatile security situations existing in all parties of Somalia: Mogadishu, Kismaayo, Baydhabo, Puntland, Galmudug, and Somaliland. It mentions the increase in criminal activities like illegal checkpoints, extortions, and military abuses in Mogadishu and Kismaayo as well as serious tension (frozen diplomatic relations) between the Federal Government and Puntland. It also notes the clashes between Somaliland and the self-proclaimed “Khatumo State” or the tension over the disputed regions of Sool, Sanaag, and Cayn. It has not been reported any advancements in the security and protection of the citizens and the fight against Al Shabab. The report emphasizes as priorities of the federal government the review of the provisional constitution, formation of federal member states, the holding of national referendum on final constitution, and a political election by 2016. What it is not clear is the aimed territory and people and the fate of the “permanent federal government of Somalia,” established to deliver state functions principally security (end of Al Shabab terror), institutional building and public administration, rule of law (justice), economic recovery, and international engagement. The attention of UNSOM and UN Support Office for AMISOM (UNSOA) is dedicated to the support and welfare of AMISOM forces. In three months, UN facilitated the rotation of 7,440 AMISOM troops. Without the federal government authority, major security infrastructures are going on in the area of Mogadishu Airport, Jaziira, and Ballidogle Military Airport. There is complete mismatch between the rhetoric and actions with regard to the support of Somali National Army (SNA). The report lists Youth Rehabilitation Centers for disengaged fighters and the delivery of 1,000 protection equipment and computers provided by the government of Japan to the police force. UN establishes a trust fund to provide a non-lethal support to SNA forces engaged in joint operation with AMISOM. It reviews previous plans and working groups. The report clarifies that the $2.4 billion pledged in Brussels is a combination of past and new funds. To compete with the World Bank and African Development Bank Trust Funds for Somalia, the UN launched its multi-partners trust fund. The report interpreted the resignation of former Central Bank Governor, Yussur Abrar as a positive development because it highlighted the urgent needs to “reform” the corrupt public financial management of the federal government. UNSOM The steps followed to establish UNSOM can be a model for institutional building in Somalia. With mandate, structure, budget, and leadership in place, UNSOM recruited 54 permanent and temporary international staff and 18 national staff. It is headquartered in Villa Somalia, seat of the president of Somalia. There are offices in Garowe, Baydhabo, Kismaayo, and Beletweyne to establish direct contact with local population. Somaliland refused UNSOM office in Hargeisa. In collaboration with AMISOM forces, well-equipped special 410 guard unit will protect the safety and security of UNSOM personnel. UNSOM plays the key role of coordinating all international and local political, security, development, governance, and humanitarian activities in Somalia, excluded Somaliland. It models on Paul Bremer Iraq Administration. Ambassador Nicholas Kay envisions “a new political dispensation” for Somalia. Human rights abuses The report states that following the failed assassination attempt on Ahmed Madobe in Kismaayo on 12 September, at least 20 men were reported missing. UNSOM acknowledges that Raskamboni militia was responsible for extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances and the ill treatment of civilians of non Ocadeni origin in Kismaayo. The report also highlights the continuation of enforced eviction of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Mogadishu, including orphaned children, single women heads of households, visually impaired persons, without prior planning. This inhumane government action has increased human rights violations against vulnerable groups. Humanitarian situation The report estimates that 3.17 million Somalis are in need of food assistance. International donors funded only 48 percent of $1.15 billion consolidated Appeal Process of 2013. The widespread insecurity situation in Somalia is a major obstacle to the delivery, access, and impact of humanitarian, economic recovery and developmental assistance. The report unveils UNCHR pilot project for voluntary repatriation of 10,000 refugees in Kenya camps. Humanitarian agencies and Somali refugees are distressed by the consequences of the tripartite agreement between Kenya, Somalia and UNHCR for the repatriation of Somali refugees in Kenya. The consensus is that the ratification of the tripartite agreement was premature and heartless. Observations UNSOM has set aside the provisional constitution, delegitimized the federal government institutions and marginalized large segment of the Somali population. Ambassador Nicholas Kay took over the leadership and responsibility of forming regional states through financial incentives, diplomatic pressure, and exclusion. The leaders of the Federal Government chose to go along with UNSOM’s move. The aggressive plan to form clan based federal member states repeats the mistakes for which Africa suffered years of civil and intrastate wars because of disputes over nations divided by arbitrary borders. The “clan federalism” policy after the collapse of the Somali state aims also to deny Somalia of an effective national government and to suppress Somali nationalism but the policy has already caused unintended consequences. President Ahmed Madobe of Jubba Interim Administration (Somalia has multiple presidents) has now officially formed his government, including foreign affairs Ministry. The Ministry for internal security has ordered all non-supporters of Raskamboni led government to leave Kismaayo immediately; otherwise they will face unspecified punishment which could include death or disappearance. Similarly, the leaders of Hiiraan region ordered all non-owners of the land to leave the region immediately. The Somali citizens, non-owners of Puntland, are considered refugees or guest people. The fighting in the Lower Shabelle, Hiiraan, and Middle Shabelle could be partially fuelled by the same ownership sentiments in Kismaayo, Belet Weyne, Puntland, Khatumo, Hargeisa, and Mogadishu. The concept of Somali citizenship is nationally and internationally disdained. In a TV Interview, Eng. Faysal Ali Waraabe, opposition leader of Somaliland has sounded alarm about the spread of clan territory ownership struggle as an obstacle to Somaliland’s statehood. He advised his fellow Somalilanders to prepare for the new challenge brewing in Sanaag and Sool. Mohamud M Uluso
